Electromobility is the cornerstone of Renault Trucks’ strategy for sustainable urban transport. In line with this strategy, the French manufacturer is now launching the first vehicle in its new all-electric line-up – the Renault Trucks Master Z.E. – which is now available to order at Renault Trucks’ dealerships.

By providing access to inner-city areas – even those with strict traffic restrictions – this all-electric truck is the perfect solution for professionals working in urban environments and is ideally suited to last- mile deliveries.

The all-electric Renault trucks Master Z.E. comes in six variants – four panel vans and two platform cabs – to meet the varied requirements of professionals working in urban environments, catering for not just ‘last mile’ logistics, but a wide range of other applications through Renault Trucks’ ‘Ready for Business’ range.

The Renault Trucks Master Z.E. boasts a payload of up to 1,128kgs, a real-world operating range of 120 kms (75 mls) and can be fully charged in only six hours. Its loading volume of up to 13m3 is the same as a conventional diesel Renault Master as the batteries are mounted under the floor, with no intrusion into the load space.

To protect both the driver and the load and to guarantee the safety of city-dwellers, the Renault Trucks Master Z.E. is fitted with a reversing camera, a reversing radar and a wide-view mirror as standard. The vehicle also features the Z.E. voice alert system designed to warn pedestrians that the vehicle is approaching when it is travelling at speeds of between 1 and 30 km/h (up to 19mph).

The Renault Trucks Master Z.E. belongs to the new family of all-electric commercial vehicle solutions up to 26-tonnes GVW, which also features the Renault Trucks D Z.E and the Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E.
